    I think they mean that Railway Station should be used instead of Train Station

    All that DH, DS, DD nonsense you get on here!
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
  • I get upset when people say "there's nothing worse than..." for situations where you can be very sure there is something worse. Examples I've heard are "There's nothing worse than laddered tights / running out of tea bags / itchy fingers". It's disrespectful to people who are going through worse.

    I know people who hate the use of "starving" to mean hungry. I have been known to say this!

    Hehe am loving this thread, thank you OP.
    I remember a child playing up at the checkout - wanted sweets or whatever because she was starving/hungry and luckily got away with pointing out that she didn't know what she meant (!).
    hey ho
